Casas was one of the leaders of a group of artists who met at the cafe Els Quatre Gats in Barcelona during the period of the 1900s. Influenced by his contact in Paris with the Nabis and ToulouseLautrec, Casas explored the new subject matter of contemporary scenes and cafe life. This drawing, which may have been intended as a design for an advertisement in a Spanish magazine, is inscribed to Charles Deering, a Chicago businessman, amateur painter, and early donor to the Art Institute, who formed a close friendship with Casas during the early part of the century.
